Chapter 27 Closing Intent
"Ho-ho! ”
Lloyd's. George chuckled dryly, feeling that this secret negotiation had limited the possibility of reaching an impasse. It can be said that the price proposed by both parties is very different from the goal of the transaction.
"There is no problem with academic and economic exchanges, and we are willing to carry out exchanges with China in this regard through embassies and consulates. So that in our past exchanges, often through non-governmental channels caused inconvenience! ”
"Haha, the Irish move worked!"
Tang Yunyang almost laughed out loud, and with the British government's current worries, it can be seen that the Irish Republican Army, which has obtained a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, has become a big problem for them.
"Of course, that's what we need! We hope that some of our officers can be sent to the British military academy to study, which is very important for developing China to train officers who meet international standards, so as to save our army from doing something discordant and polite when performing its tasks because the officers are not educated enough! ”
When he said this, even Tang Shaoyi, who only listened to it but didn't say it, couldn't help but pout, and couldn't help muttering a few words in his heart.
"No wonder Westerners call him a problem bandit, his way of doing things, it seems that there really is something wrong. It seems that the officers go to rob the property of other countries has nothing to do with him, but because the other side does not accept his officers into the military academy. ”
At this time, I only listened to Tang Yunyang + one + book ~ read + and said: "...... And what you said about economic exchanges, I wonder if we can give each other the most favored nation treatment. I think this is probably not a problem, we in China have unilaterally given your country this kind of treatment, which shows that we Chinese have enough sincerity to deal with the British! ”
It is a system commonly used in international economic and trade relations, and it is a system in which countries give each other preferential benefits, provide necessary convenience, and enjoy certain privileges in import and export trade, taxation, navigation, etc., in accordance with the provisions of certain treaties, also known as "non-discriminatory treatment". It generally refers to the preferential treatment, privileges or immunities accorded to each other by the Contracting States in terms of commerce, navigation, customs duties, legal status of citizens, etc., not less favourable, privileged or immunthan that are now or in the future accorded to any third State. The provisions of the treaty that provide for such treatment are called the "most-favoured-nation clause".
At this point, Lloyd's. George was slightly dissatisfied, after all, China is a country that has just emerged from its colonial status. Isn't it a bit too high to talk to Britain about "most-favored-nation status" now?
However, he soon decided to accept this condition. After all, the Chinese are now using airships and the invasion of the Irish side to allow their goods to enter almost all corners of Britain without hindrance.
Although, with the progress of the development of the British radar, this kind of thing will not continue forever. However, in the current 5~6 years, China's unilateral product dumping is already a fact.
As for the quota given to the first lieutenant to study in various military schools in the United Kingdom, it was just a way for countries to show friendship to each other at that time. In particular, European countries send their own students to each other's military academies, which means that there is not too much secrecy about the development of military doctrine.
In fact, everyone knows that all the most cutting-edge theories and experiments will not appear in the university teaching plan without the permission of the state.
"None of this is a problem, I think we can all go into it!"
In the face of such results, Tang Yunyang was satisfied. His focus is not just on the UK market. After all, the "Chung Wah Association" here has found quite a few British businessmen, or rather companies that have made seventy or eighty turns to maintain secret contacts with the "Chung Wah Association".
What they do is they take the products that China exports or smuggle back to the British brand, and then dump them in Europe, where the trade barriers are not so strict. At that time, even if countries such as France and the Netherlands want to do anti-dumping, I am afraid that it will be against British OEM goods.
Of course, this kind of economic struggle is forceful, and it will continue to be a perpetual "exchange". It's just that the person who thinks of the bad points first makes a profit first, and there are quite a lot of chips in the negotiation. This is a bit like the "initiative" in the war, and now relying on airships to smuggle to the Irish side is a "initiative" that Britain cannot guard against.
After the other party promised to set some conditions, Tang Yunyang understood that he could also reduce the price appropriately, after all, if this business was negotiated, it would be beneficial to everyone.
"The sincerity of Mr. Prime Minister is admirable, well, in such a situation we may transfer technology to Great Britain, provided that we can only produce the type of warship in the quantities permitted by our licences, and that each licence will require an order from our country for the same type of warship and the fighters it is sold, in addition to a considerable cost. You know, this kind of battleship is completely useless without mentioning the fighters it itself carries, do you say Admiral John! ”
John. The purpose of Admiral Jericho's presence here today is to conduct a technical assessment of the products provided by Tang Yunyang. According to the feedback from the British fleet in India. He knew that the Sabre-type fighters and Benlei II attack planes, which were constantly improving by the Chinese, were still excellent combat aircraft in the world.
Although he also understands that China must still be engaged in some more advanced fighters, this kind of aircraft is slightly better than the performance of the "Tomcat-A/B" heavy air superiority fighter purchased by the British Navy in large quantities in World War I. Naturally, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carriers on the aircraft carriers will be better than those of the aircraft carriers that are likely to be equipped with Tomcat fighters in the future.
6~10 aircraft carriers, which is already the largest number that the British government can purchase. At least more than half of them were intended to be paid for with new German warships, which would be allocated to Britain in the future. Now, since 3 ships can be built on their own with a license, after obtaining a full set of manufacturing drawings in the UK, it is naturally cheaper. Seriously, in John. In Admiral Jericho's eyes, the deal was not a fool's errand.
Therefore, when the Prime Minister's inquiring gaze swept over him, he quietly glanced at him by drinking and expressed his opinion.
"This is good, and I am sure that after we have dealt more with him, Mr. Sir will be of interest to Parliament as he proposes the consideration of an international security force. After all, we all have many international interests to take care of! ”
Hear Lloyd's. George's words, Tang Yunyang sneered in his heart. In fact, he knew very well that after the end of the First World War, I am afraid that no country would have to think of international interests, and they would not think of international common interests that would appear twenty years later except for the common interests of their countries.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the international competition and redistribution of energy interests. For the time being, when the internal combustion engine was just beginning to be used as a means of transportation, the need was not urgent.
But we know that opportunity always favors those who are prepared.
Now that we know that the 20 th century was the century of oil, we cannot but make preparations in this regard more than ten years in advance. From now on, World War II is likely to be a different scenario because it is likely to involve a force that has prepared ten years in advance for a war that is bound to not come.

Overall, Tang Yunyang is satisfied with the current trading situation. After all, economic exchanges, although they can use some means to make the other party fall into a disadvantageous state for a while. But it is clear that this state of affairs will not last forever, and that it must be terminated if it is reasonably resolved.
Otherwise, they will become people who are difficult for others to trust in the international community, although the premise is that their own interests must be respected and protected.
"Well, Mr. Prime Minister, I think we can make a deal on this matter. I hope that our future cooperation will be as successful and smooth as this transaction, and I suggest that everyone toast together for this transaction! ”
On the way back, Tang Shaoyi became more and more unaware of Tang Yunyang's plans. The ownership of the German warships has always been the focus of his attention, but all the deals proposed by the British this time were completely vetoed by Tang Yunyang, especially joining the peace conference, which means that there is more room to speak in the future "League of Nations", and it is something that Tang Shaoyi believes should not be let go.
However, Tang Yunyang's following answer made him think that Tang Yunyang's vision was too long-term, so long-term that it was almost incomprehensible to others.
"German battleships, even the newest ones now, are sure that in 10 years' time, they will be backward ones. So instead of taking the whole battleship back and dismantling it with great effort, it is better to let the Europeans dismantle it for us now. Second, if they are re-equipped with new weapon systems, they will be quite capable in the next decade. And by then, our own brand new gear should have come out as well. When these warships are brought to the world of renewed war, they should be quite sought-after and valuable toys!
When it comes to the League of Nations, I don't think I'm going to join it. Since they don't respect our interests, it's clear that even if we join in, we won't have any more say. In that case, it would be more cost-effective for us not to join at all, and to engage in our own Eastern Security Regional Force! ”
Of course, such an explanation could not completely satisfy Tang Shaoyi. In the present situation, the mentality that all countries should have after the war is peace and development, and as for the war, no one else will pay attention to it except for the purely military personnel.
"But why does he think that war is inevitable?"
